Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign Real Madrid midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart for £8m.
Spurs moved to sign the 27-year-old Netherlands international two hours before the transfer window closed at 1800 BST on Tuesday.
The Premier League had been looking into whether the deal was done in time, with Real adding they had met all the deadline requirements.
However, Spurs were given the all-clear by the Premier League on Wednesday.
Van der Vaart helped his country reach the final of the 2010 World Cup and made his reputation as a playmaker at Ajax before switching to German side Hamburg.He spent three seasons at the Bundesliga club before moving to Real Madrid in August 2008 where he appears to have become surplus to requirements as their new manager Jose Mourinho stamps his authority on the club.
With Spurs qualifying for the group stages of the Champions League, Van der Vaart will add experience and creativity to Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp’s attack as they also challenge on the Premier League front. (BBC Sport)
Spurs fans feel free to celebrate. You have now completed the undoubted signing of the summer!
